Doom 64's audio engineer talks his interest in sound design, and the particulars of building dread in the former N64 exclusive title. Doom 64 was one of the most unique titles to grace Nintendo's 64-bit platform.

Developer Midway wanted to do something different than previous ports on consoles such as the Super NES and PlayStation, and Doom 64 fit that bill.

ON DECEMBER 10, 1993, ID Software's developers uploaded Doom to a high-speed file-sharing server maintained by an IT administrator who oversaw University of Wisconsin's network. The shareware episode arrived to great fanfare. So great, in fact, that the admin had to ask hundreds of users eager to download Doom to log off so id could transfer the game. Instantly the chat rooms became ghost towns. At midnight on the dot, the gamers at id uploaded their game, and all hell broke loose. Grown adults in businesses suits clogged office networks

Though Borderlands 3 often feels like it should have come out about three years ago, it still possesses some stellar shooting mechanics and a vibrant aesthetic. With over 100 hours in the game's looter-shooter loop, I can say that it offers some of the most bizarre, and dumb fun I've had in an FPS in a long time. Though there's a lot
